Samsung plans to show off its fourth Galaxy S25 model next month. The Galaxy S25 Edge will launch at an event on May 13.

TSMC Wows World with Mind Blowing 2nm Wafers
TSMC leads the race for smaller computer chips against its main rival, Samsung. The Taiwan company began taking orders for its 2nm chips earlier this month, with Apple likely first in line.

Ruto Snags China Cash for Rail and Road
Kenya struck deals with China during President Ruto's visit that include building more railway lines. The countries agreed to extend the Standard Gauge Railway from Naivasha to Kisumu and later to Malaba. They also plan to widen several roads, like the Rironi-Mau Summit Highway, under China's Belt and Road program. China will help Kenya create smarter traffic systems in Nairobi. The Intelligent Transport Management System uses cameras and special traffic lights to control city traffic without needing many police officers. Samsung C&T signed last year to redesign 25 major junctions and build a traffic center near Mombasa Road. This system aims to cut down traffic jams and help people move around faster. The new agreements cover roads...
Fake ID Election Rigging Murkomen Says Not Gonna Happen
Kenya security chief Kipchumba Murkomen says worries about ID cards affecting elections make no sense. He told reporters at a media event in Kitui that people cannot easily create large numbers of fake identification cards. Even making 1,000 false IDs would require huge effort, he explained. According to Murkomen, claims about 100,000 fraudulent votes changing presidential results are just guesses. The cabinet secretary believes national security matters more than these theoretical election concerns. He admits fake ID cases exist but says they happen in scattered locations with no central control. Murkomen dismissed rumors from the North Eastern region that locals accept foreigners taking their places because they speak similar...

Inside Pope Francis Humble Liguria Stone Tomb
Pope Francis chose materials from Liguria, Italy, for his tomb at St Mary Major Basilica to honor his family roots. The head of the basilica told TV viewers Francis wanted stone from his grandparents' home region. His simple grave shows just his name and a copy of his cross. Francis will rest near the St Francis Altar between the Pauline Chapel and the Sforza Chapel. The late pope asked for a plain wooden coffin with zinc inside rather than the fancy three-layer boxes that past popes used. His funeral will be Saturday morning at St Peter's Square. The church will hold nine days of special masses after his death. These prayer services start at 5 p.m. daily except Sunday, when they move to the morning. Many people have visited his body...
